Copyright essentials

Copyright doesn't always sound like the most exciting thing to learn about, but it affects you in lots of ways, and it is important to know some of the basic facts.

  • Have a look at our Copyright Guidance LibGuide for an overview of the different areas, e.g. Copyright for personal study, Audiovisual copyright, Creative Commons licences.
  • CopyrightUser is an excellent site for advice on copyright for all kinds of users.  Have a look at the sections that have been written for Musicians, Filmmakers, Performers, Writers or Visual Artists, as well as the Topics on Education, and Research and Private Study.
